I made this trailer to use in the garden and around the farm. The axle is from a pop-up camper and I cut a section from the center and welded it back together. For the bed frame I used 1"x1" square tubing. The sides and floor are extra heavy tin from a commercial hi-slide. During the spring/summer I use this 110 gallon water tank on it to haul water to my gardens. Tank just fits and sits loose on the top of the sides.
The little electric pump on the front of the trailer pumps the water out and onto the plants. Also,---- yes the sunstar does need tire chains to pull it! without them it just spins out on the grass!

A long time ago I built a trailer for use behind a garden tractor, the frame was a full roll paper inspection station that I salvaged from a photo lab that I was working at. The sheet metal is some galvanized roofing or siding, all other wheels and material scrounged, so it was a zero cost project. It primarily gets used now for leaf control in the fall.
